... The coronograph consists of a small focal plane mask that sits over the image of the central star. This focal plane mask conditions the remaining light from the central star that passes through to be at the edge of the pupil. This light is then removed by a Lyot stop, which consists of an undersized ...

Retroreflector
A retroreflector (sometimes called a retroflector or cataphote) is a device or surface that reflects light back to its source with a minimum of scattering. In a retroreflector an electromagnetic wavefront is reflected back along a vector that is parallel to but opposite in direction from the wave's source. The angle of incidence at which the device or surface reflects light in this way is greater than zero, unlike a planar mirror, which does this only if the mirror is exactly perpendicular to the wave front, having a zero angle of incidence.
